Airports Are Great For Walking!

Members Were Sparked

In striving for 10,000 steps a day, I walk the terminal instead of sitting at the gate and waiting for the plane to board.

MORE INFORMATION:
Face it, planes don't leave early and there are plenty of boards listing departure gates and times to keep checking should your gate or departure time change. Besides - you'll have plenty of time to "sit" on the plane!

Travel Smart and Healthy

Airport walking is a great way to squeeze in exercise when flying. Whenever I find myself with a 2 hour layover I make sure to spend at least an hour of that time walking laps around the airport. You can window-shop and people-watch just like when you're mall walking.

Traveling

I fly a lot with work. I find it is easier to maintain if I NEVER eat plane food or drink anything besides water. Even a McDonald's salad is better nutritionally than plane food, so I either eat at the airport or order something takeout at the airport during layovers and take it with me for long flights.
